| | Industry reviews | "This entertainingly framed outline of Western thought--for three years at the top of Norway's best-seller list, and translated as far afield as Brazil and Korea--was written by a former Bergen high-school teacher, and concerns the education of fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen, who turns fifteen, and comes to terms with her status as a fictional character, by the end of the novel."
John Updike
" 'Sophie's World' [is] Gaarder's history of Western philosophy embedded in a science fiction-like novel...[and I can] understand the unusual enthusiasm the book has generated....[In} an entertaining brainteaser of a novel....Sophie thinks like a Platonist in the early part of the course, like an empiricist in the middle, and like an existentialist toward the end."
Spencer
